Description

The Indian trader shows guests how to set a loose form of linen on fire. Moments later the smell of burning linen filled the air. These items were traded to Native peoples by Europeans.

Historically, members from the Cherokee nation visited Williamsburg, camping on the grounds and meeting with English officials. Through the course of two days, members of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians hosted visitors at their "camp" in the magazine area of Colonial Williamsburg, sharing with visitors their history, their crafts, their stories, and fighting "the battle of ignorance," by dispelling myths and stereotypes regarding Native culture.
